USGS Topo · Published 1982About this map
San Gabriel Mission stands as the historical anchor of this San Gabriel Valley landscape, surrounded by the rapid mid-century expansion of Alhambra, San Gabriel, and El Monte. The map reveals a complex infrastructure of flood control and water management, centered on the Whittier Narrows Dam and the Whittier Narrows spreading grounds. The convergence of the Rio Hondo and San Gabriel River creates a significant break in the suburban grid, utilized for the Whittier Narrows County Recreational Area and large water bodies like Legg Lake.
